Re: 86 k 20 project "cletus"
Bled out the plow lines and had no improvement. I had an old pump laying around that I pulled out of another truck because it would lose pressure after 20 minutes of use. I put it in and BOOM! Plow worked great (for 20 minutes)
 I'm going to go buy a new plow pump on my lunch today and git'er done! Oh - and I got a boo boo when I was re-installing the inner fender. should have been using work gloves.

Re: 86 k 20 project "cletus"
Your truck looks great, so does the exhaust! That stinks about your finger, I hope it heals fast. Good luck with the pump swap!

Re: 86 k 20 project "cletus"
Thanks guys! Got my plow pump changed over with the new unit. Works great. I've still got a little problem either in the valve unit or the control cables where they are hanging up here and there, but overall I'm quite happy!
Here are a couple pics after plowing today!
